For 31 years I have suffered from constipation. I would literally not pass stool for weeks at a time. The doctors kept telling me “drink more water” and “eat more fruits and vegetables” and I complied without success. It had recently gotten so bad that I had to take 3 x-lax tabs per every week or so to defecate.
2 months ago I got food poisoning and as I was attempting to add solid food back into my diet, I would get extremely bloated and nauseous. It would only happen when I ate bread and crackers. I finally put two and two together and started an experimental gluten-free diet.
I POOPED EVERY DAY!!!! After spending 31 years full of sh&t, I was dumbfounded! ? my daughter had the same symptoms as me so we both are now gluten free and doing AMAZING!
After doing more research I just can’t believe how horrible gluten really is. For 16 years I have been on 2 very high doses of antidepressants at a time and benzodiazepines for anxiety. I am now only on 1 antidepressant and am contemplating slowly tapering off if I get the courage to do so (I have had bad experiences)
The rash that I got when I was in my mid-twenties and that has flared up intermittently, was thought to be peri-oral dermatitis, I am now positive was Dermatitis Herpetiformus.
I feel so in control and sharp witted! I am so happy I feel as if a light bulb has just been switched on.
Needless to say, I will never go back to eating gluten and I feel so blessed to have finally discovered the truth.
Mind blown!
